1921, September 24,  -  Jena Times:

                         Little Audie King

     On Saturday, Sept. 10, 1921, the death angel entered the home of 
Mr. and Mrs. Frazier King and took from them their precious Baby Audie.  
No more will they hear the prattle of her baby tongue or the patter of 
her baby feet.  But weep not, dear parents.  We know it is hard.  But 
God needed another angel in His shining band and so he bent with loving 
care and clasped our darling's hands
     She is asleep in Jesus and when this world is ended Baby Audie will 
have an eternal home in glory; for does not God say:  "Suffer little 
children to come unto me and forbid them not;  for of such is the 
kingdom of heaven;"  And, dear parents, you can live your life in a way 
so as to meet your baby in heaven.

Sleep on, sweet Audie,
     Take thy rest;
God called thee home,
     He thought it best.
     Like a flower you passed away.  We have no baby now, but we'll meet 
in that bright home where we shall part no more.
A loved one from us has gone,
     A loving heart is still;
A place is vacant in our home,
     Which can never be still;
A place is vacant in our home;
     Which never can be filled.
But someday we hope to meet,
     When the day of life is fled,
And in Heaven with joy to greet her,
     Where no parting tears are shed,
Heaven now retains our treasure,
     Earth the lowly casket keeps,
 And the sunbeams long to linger
     Where our precious baby sleeps.
Baby Audie, We have laid you
     In the peaceful grave's embrace.
But thy memory shall be cherished
     "Till we see the precious face,
She budded on earth to bloom in Heaven.
The writer's sincere sympathy is extended
to the bereaved ones.
                               A COUSIN


Audie was born December 5, 1916 and died of congestion caused by 
malaria.  She is buried in the Belah Cemetery.
